Well after me writing my astra gsi off



I needed something to run about in and cheap to insure. I found this 1.6 16v Corsa Sport for sale with running problems for a bargin price. The deal was done and I got it to my shed

This is what it looked like at first



Once I had the car, it was time to set about the running problem which had been traced to the HG. I set about stripping the car on the saturday.

Due to not being able to get the head skimmed on the sunday i turned my attention to the rest of the car.

Lowered on 60mm springs with bilstien b10s, and some white speedlines my mate gave me to try on it





It was decided, white wheels was the way to go, just needed to get my speedlines powercoated. By the end of the sunday afternoon this was how it was sitting









The next day i got the head skimmed and rebuilt it. It was time for the road









Car runs like a dream, i then got my wheels painted in glacier white. Here's some pics of it at crail













Got a few plans for it yet, so once they arrive i'll keep you updated!

I sort of put it in a field upside down, whilst having a spirted drive home one day

I never sold the LET Corsa mate, it melted a piston 15 miles outside of PVS 2 years ago. Sold all the LET parts, still have the shell tho

The plate seems to be the first thing everyone notices
Hopefully have a new private plate soon if the funds allow it
